Anthony Gordon has been good this season.
Gordon has been outstanding for Newcastle, contributing 22 goals this season. He could be a very useful acquisition for Barcelona. They need more depth in their attacking line and the dynamic Newcastle attacker could be a useful option for them. He can play not only in the center but also on the wings. His versatility will be an added bonus.
According to reports in the Spanish press, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are also interested in the 25-year-old Newcastle United attacker. However, he wants to join Barcelona. Apparently, visits from Barcelona officials played an important role in persuading the players.
It has been a disappointing season for Newcastle and losing their best attacking player would be devastating. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
